My girlfriend showed me this not long ago. It's one of those charity singles that came out in the wake of Band Aid. It's quite remarkable. 

 

It's got a couple of heavy hitters (Bonnie Tyler, Cliff, Holly Johnson, a Bee Gee), some lesser lights (Marillion, Hayley Mills, Lofty from Eastenders) but we failed to name quite a large portion. There's one woman who looks like she's going to chin someone, and a Charles Bronson lookalike:

What an awful song. Recognised the ones you mentioned. I wonder how they got John Parr (St. Elmos Fire [Man in Motion] ) in? I seen Suggs in the background too.

It's an anti-heroin single, and it's some stark lyrics:

"You'll be a slave to that white-powered whore
'til the dragon is slayed"

 

It's got about 4000 views on youtube, about 400 of those are me and the missus. 

I’ll see your anti-heroin and raise you to the tune of “Rap against Rape”

 

Yes , you read that correctly ..

 

From Irish national state broadcaster RTE, on their Friday night prime time talk show no less.

In fairness that did rid Ireland of rape. 

That also clears up the woman in the Anti-Heroin Project video who looks like she will glass someone is; it's Hazel O Connor, queen of the ultra-naff charity single. 

..and of that very shite film "Breaking Glass".
